I think this may be any Euonymous<\/i> sp.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Thank you … for the lead.<\/div>\n
Euonymus porphyreus<\/em> Loes.\u00a0 \u00a0???\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

This is certainly Euonymus<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The flowers are 4-merous as well as 5-merous in the same image.\u00a0<\/div>\n
This is matching with Euonymus theifolius<\/em> Wall. ex M.A. Lawson. The flowers are recorded to be 4-merous in literature!<\/div>\n
Wonderful capture.\u00a0The altitude is also almost matching.<\/div>\n
Please check.<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
I am still not sure about the ID and think that it is\u00a0 more close to Euonymus porphyreus<\/em><\/font>\u00a0Loes<\/font>.<\/span> <\/div>\n
keeping in mind length of Peduncle and flower color.\u00a0 Enclosing links for your kind reference<\/font>.<\/span><\/div>\n

Please check at the link<\/a> for the original material of E. porphyreus<\/em>. Here it seems to be a distinct species, showing one collection from Nepal.<\/p>\n
Now if you think that this is E. porphyreus<\/em> then this should be a new record for India!<\/div>\n
Please enlarge the images by clicking on them and then decide.<\/div>\n

The identification issue is over. This is Euonymus porphyreus<\/em> Loes. as pointed out by … and this forms a new record for India as pointed out by me. After seeing the original material of this species in the Edinburgh Herbarium, I confirmed the conclusion of …<\/div>\n
Next issue is formal reporting of the species from India and this can be done by … If he has collected specimen then he can write a good note (paper) on it and publish in Journal of Japanese Botany or Edinburgh Journal of Botany or to any other suitable Journal.\u00a0<\/div>\n
If he has not collected any specimen, then he has to go back to the exact locality and collect specimens.\u00a0<\/div>\n
Looking forward for a good publication on this by <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
Thanks a lot, …, for the interesting discussions.<\/div>\n
After perusing all details discussed in this thread, I also feel it is more closer to Euonymus frigidus<\/em> <\/strong>Wall.<\/font><\/a> syn. Euonymus porphyreus<\/em> Loes.<\/div>\n

It was a great experience sharing knowledge with experts\u00a0<\/p>\n
and gaining knowledge. Wish I could have brought the specimen. Thank you … once again.<\/div>\n
